The episode opens with a tense standoff as Gauri stands poised to end Vihaan’s life. Just as she is about to strike, she hesitates, creating a moment of uncertainty. Vihaan, in a surprising turn, urges her to go through with it, asking her to kill him. At that moment, Sia awakens from her slumber, and with a sense of urgency, she implores Gauri to take down Davansh for the sake of her family. Sia insists that this drastic action is the only way to put an end to the impending doom known as Pralay. She confides in Rishwa, explaining that killing Davansh is the only solution to save their loved ones.
Gauri, feeling the weight of the situation, expresses her uncertainty about how to stop Pralay. She recalls the wise words of Dadi, who had reassured Sia that true power lies not in weapons but in inner strength. Dadi had reminded Sia that she is not weak, and she had also advised Vihaan that he should abandon all thoughts of violence. In a moment of vulnerability, Gauri turns to Vihaan and urges him to end her life, believing it might be the only way out. Vihaan, overwhelmed with emotion, takes her into his arms, showing the depth of their connection.
As the tension escalates, Vihaan carries Gauri before the Dayan, a dark figure looming in the background. The atmosphere grows heavy as ominous clouds begin to turn red, signaling the gravity of the situation. Batty observes the unfolding events with a keen eye. In a moment of desperation, Vihaan drops Gauri onto a stone, and Batty silently retreats, leaving the scene.
Meanwhile, Vihaan prepares to make a heart-wrenching sacrifice involving Rishwa, showcasing his willingness to do whatever it takes to protect his loved ones. In a different part of the scene, Sia finds herself apologizing to Harsh for her earlier actions in saving him. Just then, Batty arrives, picking up a powerful ring that she learns from Sia holds immense significance. Sia reveals that Gauri chose not to fight Davansh because she wanted to protect her family. Batty, recognizing the ring’s power, places it on Harsh’s palm, emphasizing its importance in their struggle.
As the tension builds, Sia learns that Gauri had left the ring behind to ensure the safety of her family members. Just then, Harsh awakens, confused but relieved to see his family around him. Sia explains that he has returned thanks to the ring, and the family learns that Gauri’s selfless actions saved them all.
In a poignant moment, Vihaan addresses Gauri, telling her that tears will not change their fate. He asks her for her last wish, to which Gauri responds with a heartfelt declaration of love. She insists that their bond is too strong for him to kill her, proclaiming that their love has triumphed. However, Vihaan, in a moment of despair, dismisses her sentiments, expressing his frustration. He picks up the agni shastra, and Gauri closes her eyes, bracing for the inevitable.
In a devastating turn of events, the Dayan unleashes chaos, resulting in the deaths of many, including Gauri at Vihaan’s hand. As the maan kalash opens, Vihaan is flooded with memories of the time he spent with Gauri, realizing the enormity of what he has done. Meanwhile, the family members are alive, thanks to the ring, and Harsh informs everyone that Gauri had lost her powers but had sacrificed everything to save them.
As Harsh rushes to aid Gauri, Davansh meets his end at Rishwa’s hands, while Gauri’s ultimate sacrifice ensures the survival of humanity. Vihaan, torn by grief, yearns to reach Gauri but is held back, and the family learns that the threat of Pralay has ceased. Sarda acknowledges Gauri’s role in bringing Vihaan back, but he finds himself unable to reach her. Veena, desperate, urges Vihaan to bring back her daughter-in-law, and Vihaan, filled with determination, vows to do whatever it takes to resurrect Gauri.
He pleads with her, insisting that she must return, expressing his belief in her ability to overcome any obstacle. Vihaan reiterates that their family is waiting for her and asks her to come back. However, Gauri, resigned to her fate, tells Vihaan that their destiny dictates they cannot remain together. In a heart-wrenching moment, she falls from a cliff, leaving Vihaan devastated.
